• The ultimate windows vista system will not accept my password

  I would appreciate insight into what, if anything can be done at this stage.  I have not forgotten my password, but the connection does not accept it.  This laptop contains my info from the company.  Nobody else uses it. I'm in deep squat.  The only answer I have rec would support technical (this unit is less than one year and is under warranty) is that all memory has been the subject and the system rebooted from scratch.  If this is true, it's a ridiculous Vista oversite/glitch.  Someone at - it an idea?  Thanks in advance.

  Joseph,
  Thanks for your comments.
  I took the camera to Best Buy and has been remedied in 10 minutes. Through the use of a program that removes the password and allows sign-in normal.  For those of you who read this forum, I suggest strongly two things, first of all, do not use a password.  The Vista program locks after three attempts, and the restart process has no positive effect.  Then call the GS at Best Buy and talk about cure.  The rate was of $29,95 and work is guaranteed.  Technical support Dell cited $129.95 and could offer no warranty on their work.

  Thank you.

• Cannot access my user account with my password and I have not forgotten my password

  I had previously logged into my account and that he would change my password. At first he asked me the current password, then the new password and I typed all this information in. However, he later said that the password was incorrect and that I did not understand why it was inaccurate, since I had just used this password to log on to the account. So I decided to log on my account and try logging in and for some reason any, he says that the password is incorrect. Is it possible that you can help me?

  If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

  You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
  • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
  • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
  • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  And as you say that your niece may have downloaded something, that something could have been malicious, that can cause problems with password.

  Let me soce entry details:

  1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
  It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
  2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
  3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
  That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?
